All herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.

Pretty much. The idea that there's any species that is purely an herbivore just isn't born out in nature.

All generalizations are incorrect.

Pandas and gorillas have plenty of opportunity and are still obligate herbivores.

But gorillas do eat some bugs. Their diet is mostly plant-based and that's why they are classified as herbivores.
